how about a like button... and even better, react buttons, with thumbs up, smileys etc

No these things are annoy and then is just people always having to press like buttons, it become like a Facebook.

I think forum is better where you have to reply in words to this person, like I am replying now, instead of just press one button.

But they should fix the format on mobile where you cannot have long conversation because text falls off screen onto the floor

We need a dislike button so we can dislike all your garbage posts.

That would just make lazy people (like myself) even lazier with replies!

I'd much prefer a forum search option, smileys would be fine but you can add them with browser extensions.

This would cause an explosion of sock accounts for the purposes of spoofing the thumb count.

Emojis would be great, but they're never going to happen on this rickety old 20th Century web site.

Here's a neat idea: how about expressing a response in words rather than hieroglyphics?
